She was born on June 19, 1925, in Lyndonville, Vt., the daughter of the late William Edgar Kellaway and Bertha (Fowler) Kellaway. She attended graded school in Lyndonville and was a 1943 graduate of Lyndon Institute. She resided for the majority of her life in Manchester Center and Berlin Corners in Berlin, Vt., with her late husband of 62 years, Noah Wallace Hudson. They retired in 1998 back to Lyndonville, where they both had a strong sense of community, loyal friends and family.

As a devout Episcopalian, she loved her family and lived her life very quietly for them.

Barbara was predeceased by her brother, Edgar William Kellaway; and is survived by her nephew Peter Kellaway, his wife, Christina, and their daughter, Charli; as well as many other nieces, nephews and cousins throughout Vermont, Quebec and Ontario.

There will be no calling hours or funeral. There will be a spring interment in the Pine Grove Cemetery with a date and time to be announced.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Pope Frontier Animal Society, 502 Strawberry Acres Road, Newport, VT 05855.
